I thought my rating MIGHT go up a little but it jumped 13 frikin points!!! WOW!

Hicks jumped from 950's to 970!! Wise you had a little jump :o one point!!!

Let's see where Furdogs rating is :D

Furdog jumped up!

826 to 829!!! Nice job Furpuppy!!

What about "C"? yes and no

Yes because it shows you have played well, but no because it shows you aren't :(

Yes!! Tulsa World's is finally gone from my ratings :)

21 points better, I like em' now, ask again after the next rating change though

21 point jump?

Nice work!

For the first time EVER I have no rounds rated under 900 /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif AAAHHHHHHHH Yeah!!!!

well i can no longer try for an intermediate title. 3 points up to 916

Brad with the new division ratings, your still good. Meanwhile I got knocked back down to rec when I was just moving up in the world. Even though I went up 17 points.
2008 divisions
Advanced MA1 All Any (required for 935+)
Intermediate MA2 All < 935
Recreational MA3 All < 900
Novice MA4 All < 850

cool anybody out there that will play me a ratings game for a few lunches?

For the first time EVER I have no rounds rated under 900 /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif AAAHHHHHHHH Yeah!!!!



Ditto for me, MC. And try this on for size. Since getting married October 2005, my rating has gone up 43 points. :eek: Here's to bucking the conventional wisdom. :cool:

What is this the Twilight Zone? How in the world does your game get better AFTER getting married? It's usually the opposite :Dnice jump, BAP!

And 3 first place finishes looks good on the 2007 resume!

To be fair, the Riverside Glide should be 2nd place. JoeRo is the undisputed champion.

Wanna know my secret?

Green Country Doubles - Partner
Riverside Glide - Practice 15 footers for 6 hours the week leading up to the tourney
Oklahoma Open - play one round out of my mind, and hope everyone else chokes (this is a great strategy, by the way ;))

That only works in Advanced. Welcome to the pros big fella!!! :D:D

I knew you would chime in eventually.

I think a kid can only help. The formula for me seems to be to play less golf. If I can get down to one round a month, I'll bring my rating up to 1000.

Yea, right.
Bring the kid to the course, its not a distraction.

Ask Kev how his rating is doing?


So far this year, you have been the exception to the rule though. I will give you that. :D
You have played well.

We'll see how it goes after the first kiddo hits the ground running. ;)

GO PRO!!!!!!!! :eek: :p

Connors you got me by two points. I knew I shouldn't have missed the Glide.
This news almost makes me want to come out of my disc golf vacation.
See ya Tulsa guys in 08.

HAH! Andy, I know you can't stand the fact that I'm a higher rated player than you :D See you next season!!

talk about 900 player rating
it is official i am not a novice
the first time i am over 900

Nice slack!!

Kody Custard played a good season this year and he jumped to 960: Kody's PDGA member profile (http://www.pdga.com/tournament/playerstats.php?PDGANum=30548)

bagger! :D

Too bad he can't finish.....:o

:o:o:o

... that was harsh.

I kind of miss the advanced division :(

Oh yeah...I just can't get enough of it.....:(

I can play Advanced again? SAHWEEEEEEEEEEET!!! So I guess that whole accepting cash thing wasn't so bad afterall :D My stack of plastic is dwindling, looks like it's time to start building the stack back up :o

I also noticed they had you listed as Am but you may want to check on it to be sure. I'd hate to see them come back after a tournament and take all your points and ratings away. ;)

Screw em' :p if I'm listed as an Amateur I plan on renewing as an amateur and saving $25. It's not my fault the PDGA dropped the ball...right? :D

I don't care about the points but if I shoot some hot rounds in advanced and they take the ratings away that would suck.

Yeah who cares about those in honest competition!

Play advanced Conners!

Build that self-esteem!

Good play at USDGC this year....cough...cough....

Hey there is no shame in being a 968 rated Am. :D

Now Ben Powell might want to re-think things a little. :o

You need to look at all the Am players above you, especially the one in bold. :o

I don't see any benefit from playing down, other than the cheaper entry fees.

I guess some folks would rather play for fun...and some play to get better. I think playing up will make you better; playing down, not sure of the benefits.

As for BAP, I am fairly certain he is moving up.

I play pro most often for that reason penny, to get better, not for actually hoping to win money from them...though that has happened....

And I am not advocating anyone play up or down or whatever...

All I was saying is that the IceBowl is the WORST place to play up in hopes of winning...

Now you could still play up just to see how they use mullies, what shots they try etc....

There are so many things to learn from the pro's in town that anyone could benefit from playing with them...

But in the IceBowl there is even less reason to play pro because the cards were not organized by division.

I played with Dale Patterson both rounds...why?

I love the way he plays that course. Ever since I was a rec player I remember seeing him lay it down out there....smooth shots, and sidearms and good putts...it is exactly how I want to play that course...

But I was still in Advanced and he was in Really Good Old Man....or whatever they call it.... :D

Different players have certain attributes that you can learn from....

Even you penny...

Even Wise....

Furdog not so much....:o

If I can legitimatally (sp?) play adv without breaking any rules I plan on doing it. Rules are there for a reason and if I'm abiding by the rules I have no problem with playing Adv. Depending on which tournament I'm playing will determine what division I play. For example: if I go play Z-Boaz Open I will play ADV. If I'm playing the Riverside Glide I'm playing Pro.

Well I guess Klye can play adv agian considering he is rated 968, I think.

Conners play adv and have fun with it.

I wasn't trying to persuade anyone either way or the other...just playing devil's advocate :D;)
